Popular with celebrities such as Liz Hurley, Kylie Minogue and Patsy Kensit, sexier, fuller lips are achieved by injecting a ‘filler’ into them.
She had thought for some time that her own lips could be improved to help her get more jobs which involved close-ups, feeling that her top lip was too thin in proportion to the plumper bottom one.
‘I found out about which type of implant to have and where to go. Many of my friends were going to a particular surgeon in Harley Street, so I went along for a consultation.
‘The choices were: temporary fillers like collagen or restylane which would have to be topped up every six months or so; or a substance called Artecoll, a ‘permanent’ implant made up of collagen and acrylate beads, a synthetic material like acrylic.
‘It seemed like a good idea to have a one-off treatment of Artecoll as I’d heard that the pain was awful and I didn’t fancy having to keep going back.
‘It cost me £1,600. The first treatment was agony – and that was even with an anaesthetic injection. I was crying with pain – tears were rolling down my face. But in a matter of minutes the whole thing was over and I could see a lovely ‘full’ effect.
When the swelling went down the next day, I was delighted.
That was about two years ago. But only a month later, Deborah thought that the plumpness was disappearing and went back to the surgeon. This is when her problems really began.
‘He injected more on the left side of my lip than the right. It was completely uneven with a nasty bulge on one side and flatness on the other. Because my lip was so sore after that visit, I had to wait a month and go back to have the right side injected to even it out. To my horror, I still looked lopsided and had to go back yet again.
‘Previously, the surgeon had given me half a syringe of Artecoll at each visit. This time he simply pumped the whole lot in.’
Deborah said when she looked in the mirror, all she could see was ‘what looked like the face of a blow-up doll’.
‘Furious, I asked him what the hell he’d done to me, but he just mumbled that it would go down. I went home in a state of shock, hoping he was right.
